Director Yeon Sang Ho of Netflix's 'Hellbound' revealed ideas and plans for the follow-up story.

On November 26th, YTN released an interview with director Yeon Sang Ho of 'Hellbound', which is gaining popularity around the world.

On this day, director Yeon Sang Ho talked about what he said earlier that he was working on a cartoon after the end of 'Hellbound'.

Director Yeon Sang Ho explained, "I have been planning the after-story since this summer. There isn't much I can share but what I can tell you is I was thinking, 'does the epilogue of this story need to be a story about hell?'" and raised curiosity.

He continued to share, "In the end, the title was decided on 'Hellbound', but the title 'Resurrection' was the one that came up fairly closely among the many candidates for the title."

He also added that the second season will focus on the weakness of humans. The director elaborated that the weakness that will be portrayed in the second season will be different from the one seen earlier.

Lastly, director Yeon Sang Ho raised expectations by foretelling, "It will also show how strong humans can be at the same time."

Meanwhile, 'Hellbound' surrounds the story of an apparition that suddenly appears, foretelling the date and time when an individual will be bound to hell. The story continues to focus on the rise of a cult group that arbitrarily explained this apparition to send sinners to hell, causing those who receive the prophecy to be shunned from society.

'Hellbound' ranked number 1 on Netflix's top 10 series in just one day after it was released on November 19. Currently, 'Hellbound' is gaining global popularity following the series 'Squid Game' from Korea.

Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

“Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

“Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
